Before it was "cool" to care, CarrotNewYork dedicated itself to the connections between meaningful causes, educational outreach and the measurable, positive changes that result from these endeavors. Now, "corporate social responsibility" programs are more common and more complex, making CarrotNewYork a trusted, reliable partner to rely on for our decades of past performance.

CarrotNewYork's programs have been translated into over 30 languages and delivered in 80 countries. Our initiatives have won awards from marketing, education and business associations; as well as government agencies. Our video content has won film festivals and Emmy’s. We’ve participated in education research studies both nationally and globally, and present at conferences and the United Nations.

Since 1980, we’ve remained on the forefront of education innovation trends and social good, ever-committed to our mission: Social Impact Through Education.
